I love this new take on this show. I found the infusion of an air of surrealism and avant garde (mostly due to Redmayne’s emcee) fascinating and refreshing. It worked for me. Definitely not your grandma’s Cabaret!
I know this is sacrilege, but I found Bebe Neuwirth the weakest link. Her voice was breathy, wavery, and shaky. She looked so old and frail I was afraid she’d trip and break something.
